Volvo Penta AQ205 Operator's Manual page 15

Pump all the oil out of the engine. Use the oil
43
drain pump.
Replace the oil filter. Replenish with Volvo Penta
44
engine oil since this also has corrosion protection
properties. The engine is now ready to be run on
this oil next season.
Use special inhibiting oil if the laying up period is
longer than a normal winter laying up period. If
this is the case, the oil filter must be changed be-
fore launching.
Inhibiting to be carried out on land
Undo the cooling water hose by the transom cov-
45
er and insert the free end into a bucket containing
fresh water. Make sure there is a water supply to
the bucket. Remove the thermostat.
Run the engine at fast idle for a few minutes.
CAUTION: The pump cannot withstand being run
dry. Drain the system.
Prepare a mixture of 50% fresh water and 50%
46
corrosion protective anti-freeze.
Insert the hose in the mixture. Arrange so that the
47
mixture which is pumped through is collected.
Start the engine and let it idle until the mixture is
finished. Check that nothing is lowered behind the
exhaust outlet.
WARNING! The water pump must not be
allowed to run dry.
The combined corrosion and frost protection mix-
ture need not be drained. The engine is not pro-
43
47
tected against frost if it is inhibited with emulsify-
ing oil. This must be drained. Check that the wa-
ter runs out since contamination can block the
cocks. Then close all cocks.
Remove the cover from the coolant water pump.
48
Remove the impeller. Check that the impeller is
serviceable. Rinse the impeller in fresh water and
store it in a sealed plastic bag until it is time to fit
it again. A worn or damaged impeller must be re-
placed. Refit the cover. Reconnect any hoses
that were undone.
Carefully undo the oil drain plug at the bottom of
49
the drive and let a few drops of oil run out. Check
that the oil is clean and not discoloured.
No further inhibiting of the drive lubricating sys-
tem is necessary. Remove the propeller(s) and
coat the shaft with rust inhibiting oil.
Volvo Penta strongly recommends to remove the
outdrive and carefully inspect the u-joint bellows
and hoses. Lubricate the splines and pivot pins.
Inspect and lubricate the reverse latch mecha-
nism.
Clean the exterior of the drive and the engine.
50
Paint over any chafed patches with original paint.
Spray the electrical system's components and all
control parts with water-repellent spray.
